Thats not to out of line for that caliber. Personally I prefer the old CH Auto Champion Progressives which are a lot cheaper but do have a steeper/longer learning curve. I have both and the CH is probably twice as fast and just as accurate as the Star.

Apples and Oranges. The one on eBay that sold for $581 is a "Progressive" model which is 38 Special ONLY. The 44 Magnum Star is a "Universal" model which can load any pistol caliber as long as you have the appropriate shell plate and dies. Of course the Progressive had and indexer and a case feeder which helped it's value, but if it were a Universal it would have sold for more.

If you are interested in anything Star Machine Works reloaders Bruce is your guy. I have two vintage Stars (a progressive and a universal) and he gave me good feedback on restoration as well as manufactures replacement parts for them. A great resource.

Bruce, didn't realize you were on here thanks again for helping again.

That one is in Canada. With the surrent exchange rate wouldn't it be less?

Thanks for the kind words. I don't spend a lot of time over here, but I have been a member for quite a while.

They are very good machines, I have a universal, but I don't think it works any better or faster than my Dillon 550 and the parts are a whole lot more expensive.
